Company must pay for barge accident
By PAUL PINKHAM
The Times-Union
A Jacksonville construction company was ordered Monday to pay $19.2 million to eight people injured when the boat they were on slammed into a dimly lit barge in the Cedar River three years ago.
U.S. District Judge Harvey E. Schlesinger said Superior Construction Co. was entirely to blame for the collision for inadequately lighting the 128-foot "black invisible" barge and improperly placing it and a tugboat in the channel beneath the Blanding Boulevard bridge. He said the company never notified the U.S. Coast Guard, which could have warned boaters it was there.

Images of 12-year-old Si'mone Small being beaten by seven boys on his Jacksonville school bus disturbed viewers across the country as CNN, Oprah and other national talk shows aired the 2004 assault. Now the lawsuit on his behalf, stating negligence on the part of the Duval County School Board and bus operator First Student, has been settled out of court.
